Main Thought:
When we see problems all around us, we should always remember that God loves and protects us. The world offers comfort and protection, but they eventually fail. Indeed, “Salvation belongs to the Lord!” and Jesus proved to be our savior when He died for our sins.
Psalm 3
O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
many are saying of my soul,
“There is no salvation for him in God.”
But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy hill. Selah
I lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the Lord sustained me.
I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.
Arise, O Lord!
Save me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation belongs to the Lord;
your blessing be on your people!
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, be with us as the sure defense of Your Church. Defend us against our enemies, preserve us from the persecution of the wicked, and when our last hour has come, deliver us from all evil, both of body and soul, and receive us into Your everlasting kingdom. Amen.
